Tire Pressure Monitor System

When the tire pressure warning light comes on, immediately check the tire pressure and adjust it to the specified value. (The tire pressure warning light will come on if there is an open in the tire pressure warning light circuit.).

When the tire pressure warning light blinks (comes on after blinking for 1 minute), there is a malfunction in the system. Check for DTCs.

It is necessary to register the transmitter ID in the tire pressure warning ECU after replacing the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter and/or tire pressure warning ECU

When replacing the tire pressure warning ECU: Using the DATA LIST, read the transmitter IDs registered in the ECU and make a note of them before removing the tire pressure warning ECU. Register the transmitter IDs after installing a new tire pressure warning ECU.

When replacing the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter: Take a note of the 7 digit number (transmitter ID) written on the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing it. Register the transmitter IDs in the tire pressure warning ECU after replacing the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter and installing the tires and wheels on the vehicle.

NOTE

The transmitter ID is written on the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. It will be unable to be read after installing the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter on the tire and wheel. Therefore, take a note of the transmitter ID before installing the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.

Initialize the tire pressure warning system after any of the following is performed: Replacing the tire pressure warning ECU or the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. Installing tire(s) which require different tire pressure. Rotating tires on vehicles with differing front and rear tire inflation pressures. Changing the tire inflation pressure by changing traveling speed or load weight, etc.

WARNING

The tire pressure warning system will not operate properly if it is not initialized.

Precautions about the tire pressure: The tire pressures decrease naturally. In winter, tire pressures may decrease due to low ambient temperatures (tire pressure decreases by approximately 1.45 psi (0.2 kgf/cm 2, 10 kPa) for every 50°F (10°C) drop in the ambient temperature). Therefore, the tire pressure warning is more likely to operate if the tire pressures are not adjusted appropriately. If the daily temperature variation is large, pressurize the tires high so that the tire pressures are suitable under cold conditions. Incorrect tire pressure warning operation becomes less likely.

When tires and wheels are replaced, always ensure that each transmitter ID is correctly registered.

Fail-safe function: When a system malfunction occurs in the tire pressure warning system, the tire pressure warning light blinks (comes on after blinking for 1 minute) and informs the driver of the system failure. The result of this diagnosis is stored in the tire pressure warning ECU.

After repairs, confirm that the actual tire pressures are displayed in the Data List.
